TABYT = BATTY, NMSIT = MINTS, GLHAEG = HAGGLE, UNAALN = ANNUAL — Giving us: ATTMNTHAEANU
Clue/Question: When Mr. and Mrs. Albacore had a baby, they played this.
Answer: NAME THAT “TUNA“
(You can hear the moans and groans for MILES and MILES on this one! But, to my way of thinking, if you’re NOT fond of puns; why the Hell do you do the Jumble in the first place? I was reluctant to go with “mints”, because it appeared to be a plural noun. But, then I realized that MINT is also a verb, so it’s all good, folks! “Batty” and “haggle” were pretty simple, but “annual” might have thrown a few of you, for a while, because it starts with a vowel. There was no giveaway with the answer letters, today. And, that’s always – as Martha Stewart would say – a good thing! Cute, nonsensical cartoon. I suppose today’s Jumble could have been difficult, for those not familiar with either; the StarKist Tuna mascot, Charlie The Tuna, or the old game show Name That Tune. But, I’m sure sure all the Boomers – and older – got it, with no problem whatsoever. I sure hope today’s was a Dolphin Safe Jumble. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
PS. I rock at Name That Tune, folks! Just as I rock at Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!
PPS. The word “Hell” generates a lot of funky, scary, Medieval artwork in the Zemanta gallery. Too many people have very sick imaginations!

All 3 of those names are of the oldest boys in the Weasley family in Harry Potter. (Technically, George has a twin, Fred, though). I grew up with the books (read the first when I was 11), and I was the same age (almost exactly) as Harry was as the books came out.
Why is the crab so, well, crabby-looking?
I enjoy Spongebob’s pineapple (under the sea) in the background.
Haaaa! Angie, I noticed the crab and pineapple, too! This was a real groaner, but I loved it!
Good morning. I thought I’d just pop in to say hi. I see by the last few posts that everyone seems pretty happy with our work lately. Nice! It really was luck that we happened to use Mick Jagger on his birthday a couple of days ago. As you’ve noticed we are trying to do more and more “This Day In History”-type Jumbles where we tie the Jumbles to specific events/dates but that Mick Jagger Jumble was just luck. We had a 1 in 365 shot and got lucky.
